(43,547 posts)there are plenty of them. So many that I cannot even begin to recount them. Perhaps you're unaware that the crime show genre is at an all-time high.
However, if your question is confined to the larger networks, then I can't think of any. That doesn't mean there are none; I don't watch every story.
However, the question is disingenuous. What I think you are really trying to say is history does not support me.
What I am saying to you is that my answer assumes that people change, networks change, stereotyping changes. The time is right for such a story, but I would not wish that story on anyone. Let's hope this never happens to a young African American woman.
I'm forward thinking in terms of how news coverage changes; I'm not assuming everything is going to be like it's been in the past.
